El NAACP Image Awards es una ceremonia anual de premios presentada por la Asociación Nacional para el Avance de las Personas de Color (NAACP), que celebra los logros destacados y las actuaciones de las personas afrodescendientes en el cine, la televisión, el teatro, la música y la literatura. Es similar a otros premios, como los Oscar y los Grammys.
Otros ganadores de la noche incluyen a la actriz Angela Bassett (Wakanda Forever), la directora Gina Prince-Bythewood (The Woman King) y la leyenda del rap, Cliff ‘Method Man’ Smith, entre otros.
Explorando con una perspectiva diferente las identidades de los descendientes de la diáspora africana, Bantú Mama cuenta la historia de Emma, una mujer franco-camerunesa que huye de un arresto por tráfico de drogas en la República Dominicana. Encuentra refugio con tres niños que viven solos en el barrio más peligroso de Santo Domingo. Al convertirse en su protegida y su figura materna, su destino cambiará inexorablemente.
Distribuida por Ava DuVernay’s Array Releasing, la película está disponible en Netflix desde noviembre de 2022 en América del Norte, el Reino Unido, Australia y Nueva Zelanda. Escrita por Ivan Herrera y la actriz francesa Clarisse Albrecht, que también protagoniza la película, Bantú Mama se estrenó en el SXSW en 2021 y se presentó internacionalmente en numerosos festivales de cine (BFI London Film Festival, Fespaco, Durban International Film Festival). Los productores son Herrera, Albrecht, Franmiris Lombert y Nicolas LaMadrid.
